Core Tip Congenital maxillomandibular fusion is a rare anomaly of the craniofacial region. We reported a 7-mo-old girl with bilateral maxillomandibular syngnathia. We performed bony isolation with computer-assisted navigation, a first-of-its-kind treatment approach for case of syngnathia. The operation time was minimized by at least one hour, and the patient's vascular, nerve and tooth germ were well protected, and bleeding was minimized. There were a major improvements in the patient's status. We concluded that application of computer-assisted navigation can significantly improve accuracy, effectiveness and surgical safety in difficult-to-treat deformity.
